Difference between Neuroscience and Soma (biology)

Neuroscience vs. Soma (biology)

Neuroscience (or neurobiology) is the scientific study of the nervous system. The soma (pl. somata or somas), perikaryon (pl. perikarya), neurocyton, or cell body is the bulbous, non-process portion of a neuron or other brain cell type, containing the cell nucleus.

Similarities between Neuroscience and Soma (biology)

Neuroscience and Soma (biology) have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Dendrite, Neuron, Organelle, Spinal cord, Synapse.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Dendrite

Dendrites (from Greek δένδρον déndron, "tree"), also dendrons, are branched protoplasmic extensions of a nerve cell that propagate the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Organelle

In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, in which their function is vital for the cell to live.

Spinal cord

The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column.

Synapse

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target efferent cell.

Neuroscience and Soma (biology) Comparison

Neuroscience has 234 relations, while Soma (biology) has 30. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 2.27% = 6 / (234 + 30).
